Faces you'll see:
Going to Islington farmers market is another good excuse to hang out in Upper Street – still one of the youngest, liveliest and buzziest high streets in North London, packed with cafes, bars and restaurants and with more and more designer shops opening all the time. Locals tend to be well-cultured and with a political conscience, hence the popularity of Islington farmers market, with all its right-on ethics and interesting fare.

Islington has a fair few famous residents – plenty of musicians, actors and writers – but it’s still too culturally diverse to be properly snobby. Big areas of estates are back to back with beautiful streets of Georgian terraces and Tudor squares and the scruffy bustle of Chapel Market is just down the road from designer beauty shops and fashion boutiques. Not a bad area to wander round on a Sunday after you’ve stocked up on farm grown staples.
